Cleaning questions.7945

Collector Zarbongo private msg quote post Address this user
I have never had a book pressed or cleaned. I just got a very nice Avengers Annual 10 with NM potential except for what looks like a little tape adhesive remnant on the cover. Would cleaning handle that? Is there just a cleaning option without pressing? If the cleaning didn't work could I just get a Raw Grade for the book? What is the pricing on pressing/ cleaning?

Hello! Could you post a picture of this adhesive stain? I am a pretty experienced restorer and Without looking at it, would say you probably are not going to be able to get it completely off unfortunately.
I do believe CBCS does offer raw grading with out being slabbed. All the best!

Hi! I am an ugly comic book collector.

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
There are probably people that would clean without pressing (or vice versa), but CBCS only offers both. The website makes it sound like a light cleaning: https://www.cbcscomics.com/dry-cleaning You can get a press check done, where they'll look at the book and only clean/press it if they think it will improve the book's grade. You could also probably ask them to only raw grade it if fails a press check but you'd want to check with customer service.

Despite having a pressing page on the website, and a pricing page, CBCS very stupidly does not have the pricing for pressing on the website that I can find. If it's up to date, the forum has a post with prices in post 77 of this thread https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/1872/page/3/cbcs-pressing/post77 . Your book would be $12 unless you think it can pull a 9.8.

I think even if you asked them
Not to press, you would be quoted the same price as if they were to do both. So why not do both and get the best grad you can?
